Re: Burned Thru $25 Million
Yes, if you can't be bothered to read a prospectus I can't be bothered to have much sympathy for you. As an investor you have a right to know where your money is. There's no excuse for not finding this out when it comes to your retirement money. Investing in VC is against the strategy of most retirement funds, and they will be called on it. Can you name an example of when this has happened?

| Heh-heh -- try asking your 401K fund manager what high-risk funds they invested in last year. Try to get the names of the startups that ultimately benefitted. Be sure to ask how much everyone involved made. Heh-heh -- good-luck -- I hope your well connected and you don't have some bad luck afterwards.
You really need to understand that these guys honestly believe that they deserve to make millions on our 401K savings -- after-all they're really all about helping us poor working slobs. |

For once I agree with you.
That's why I use Vanguard ( with fee's around .17% yearly) and S&P depository reciepts ( about .14% ). These are my retirement dollars. I am not interested in paying for anyone else's.

You don't know what you're talking about. Mutual funds release a semi-annual list of every stock and fund they invest in. It's public information, and it would be illegal for a fund manager to secretly misappropriate funds. On top of that, most 401k programs give you a choice of STOCK funds, meaning VC has nothing to do with this.

Why ask him? I can look mine up on the internet on the companies website and I can also do math so I would know about any changes. |
